RE: Words to learn: Defenestrate

in #education7 years ago

Well, that is cool. I thought I knew what this word meant (removal from power) but I had no idea it originally/primarily meant to throw 'someone out a window.'

Look at me, ma, I'm learnin'!

Sort:  

You are one up on me, my friend. I can’t recall ever hearing the word before at all.

Look at us! We’re learning! 😁

I had only ever heard it in it's out-the-window usage, haha! Also the word for window in French is fenestre, if I recall my elementary French classes correctly. So the window thing makes very good sense to me XD

Egad! I've been defenestrated!
